Mormors søster Ellen Pauline Brekken/Møst/Nilsen født 24.12.1880 emigrerte i 1900 til USA, hun var da ugift. Hun reiste fra Kristiansund. Mormor hadde en viss kontakt med henne og hadde fortalt at hun var gift der borte.
Hun var datter av Nils Brekken f22.09.1853 og Kjersten Birkelund f 3.12.1854
I "Gards og Ættesoger for Frei bind 1" står det at hun utvandret til USA og døde der i 1966.
I "Williamsen-slekten fra Nordmøre" står det at hun var gift med amerikansk statsborger Burns og hadde 5 barn.
Nå er alle eldre i familien borte og ingen vet om vi har slektninger der. Kan noen som har muligheter for søk i USA hjelpe meg til å finne familien?
Mvh

Hei Sidsel
Were there any other slekt that went to the USA before Ellen Pauline...and where did they live?
Or do you have any idea what Ellen used for reisemaal?..or where she lived.
Perhaps you can find the emigration protocol for Ellen...that may help.
Can you find out the first name of Mr. Burns (in brev/letters?? perhaps)...
mvh
Patty

Re: Ellen Pauline Brekken/Møst/Nilsen
Vet ikke noe fornavn, dessverre.
Har funnet henne som emigrert fra Norge under navnet Pauline Møst. Skulle til Michigan. Vet ikke om noen slektninger eller bekjente der.

Re: Ellen Pauline Brekken/Møst/Nilsen
Here is Edgar Burns and wife Dorothy 1940 census
But his age was indexed wrong...he should be 28 years old not 38 (the writing was poor in the census)
Their 2 young daughters are listed

By the way Benzie county, and the town of Frankfort is located on the shores of Lake Michigan (one of the 5 Great Lakes)...
You can google "Frankfort, Michigan"...The photos are very beautiful...It almost looks like the coast of Norway!!
Perhaps Pauline found living there, was in a way, like "home".
